and money form is frickin’ weird.
Like when it was gold the labor it contained was clear, but like the labor in the modern weird abstract money form is… IDK, because like it’s not the printing, or the metal and like a penny contains more than 1 cent’s worth of copper… what does this distortion mean? Also paper money clearly contains less value in materials than it is worth.
Is the worth of paper money derived in part from the collective labor of convincing everyone to keep believing in its value?
WHAT IS GOING ON?
